Havng tried and kept the 2005 of this Beaune Premier cru blend by Bouchard, I was very optimistic when pouring the 2006 in the glass.
Medium red colour and a nose of red berries and toast proved that we were on the right track. However when comparing the taste to the seductive and fleshy 2005 , the 2006 was limpid and acidic and not impressive at all.
Having tried other 2006 reds from the same area, this was a real disappointment as I was longing back to the 2005 immediately.
Beaune du Chateau 2006 by Bouchard , 22€, a blend that should perhaps be mixed with the 2005?
